First Hellenic Republic

The First Hellenic Republic was the period of existence of the first Greek state after gaining independence from the Ottoman Empire. Initially known as the Provisional Administration of Greece (1822 - 1828), the government was later renamed to Hellenic State (1828 - 1832). It was of a democratic and constitutional nature, hence it being referred to by historians as the First Hellenic Republic. The state was later reorganized into the Kingdom of Greece after undergoing civil strife and an intervention by Great Britain, France, and Russia, resulting in Otto of Wittelsbach taking the throne.
